Agile Manifesto Signatories

Independent Signatories of
The Manifesto for Agile Software Development

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Juan Carlos Lotto: I love it, help me, and help people working with me! i love sign this paper.
Daniel Qu Li: (IBM) May agile methods make software engieering a fun and rewarding activity again for bright, passionate, devoted IT professionals.
Steve Wideman: (DST Health Solutions, Inc.) Charles Darwin said it best: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but rather the one most responsive to change." Nimble was good, but Agile's better!
Sam Kern: Agility makes a lot of sense. Good to see collaborative thought still works.
Mani Malekmohammadi: (http://www.mani-bono.com/blog) Be Agile! I support the agile Manifesto, I also have a blog about being Agile!
Marek Slowinski: (http://www.markowy.net) It is necessary to simplify life and Agile it makes.
Daniel Cukier: (IME-USP) I believe in people and what they can produce with great relationships. The Agile Manifesto came to show developers that coding is not an automated machine work but a lovely human activity.
Patricio Rojas: (NorteWeb) I'm very glad to found in your manifiesto many of ideas that i think are so revelant in the SW development process. It's like the Hypocrates Oath for medicine. Thanks.
Lenandlar Singh: (University of Guyana) I like the ideas presented in the Agile Manifesto even though i'm yet to be fully convinced about the extent to which the purists are 'biggin up' the Agile way of doing things. Maybe this is because i'm yet to work on a project that has practiced agility. In theory everything is perfect.
Carlos Antonio de Oliveira: (JTeam) Social engineering it's the key to all software developments, the agile method it's the mechanism to achieve quality software and low cost
Juan Carlos Olivares Rojas: (Instituto Tecnológico de Morelia)
Oleg Puzanov: (IKEEN Group) Agile Software Development is the way to bring software faster then customer's business value changes. And this is fun! I fully support the Agile Manifesto and we keep trying to make software development more qualitative. Reza Arbabi: After close to ten years of software development, I come to the conclusion that Agile methods are the only way for a headache-free development of a software system. Fuzziness and evolution are keys to the successful development of a software application, which both get lots of respect in an agile process.
Max Kosyakov: I do support the agile development, and I train my team on agile methods. However, there is always a doubt over the limits of applicability of agile principles.

In Polarsoft(www.polarsoftinc.com) and many Other projects the agile techniques has given edge.Specially Using java,J2EE and Web Frameworks and parretns; the concepts and applications are effort less and delivery is high quality and with in budget if you intergrate the Agile with proper Project management Nisal Kooragoda Nisal.Kooragoda@polarsoftinc.com http://www.polarsoftinc.com
